Sudan leader could face genocide charge for Darfur

APPEAL judges at The International Criminal Court in The Hague yesterday overturned a ruling that Sudan’s leader cannot be charged with genocide in Darfur.

The unprecedented decision could lead to President Omar al-Bashir’s indictment with humanity’s worst crime.

The appeals ruling also put other leaders around the world on notice that the court will not balk at charging them with genocide if they persecute their own people.
